CONSTITUTION 



EQUITABLE UNION. 



Believing that secret societies, as they exist in this Col-' 
lege, tend directly to create distinctions entirely factitious, 
and anti-republican ; to produce endless strife and divisions *, 
thereby destroying the harmony and interrupting the pros- 
perity of the Institution : we feel it our duty, as well as our 
mutual interest, to use our best endeavors to counteract their 
blighting influence. 

In doing this, we but reiterate the cardinal principle of '76 
— equality of rights and privileges. We recognize no su- 
periority but that of merit ; no distinctions but those of na- 
ture'^s making ; no dominion but that of virtue and reason- 

We, therefore, members of Union College — having in 
view these great principles — do form ourselves into a society 
for the purpose of more effectually counteracting the injurious 
influence uf secret combinations ; diffusing and promoting lib- 
eral sentiments, and " advancing the great objects of social 
and literary improvement." 



11 

ABSTRACT. 

The Society is organized under a President, Vice Presi- 
dent, a Corresponding Secretary, Recording Secretary, and 
Treasurer. 

Any member of College, who neither belongs to, nor coun- 
tenances secret societies, may be admitted into the Equita- 
ble Union. 

Any member joining a secret society, is expelled on con- 
viction of the same. 

The meetings of the society are held regularly, once in 
two weeks. 

The exercises are strictly literary; consisting chiefly in 
Orations, Composition and Debate. 

Members are bound, by their honor as gentlemen, to at- 
tend all meetings of the society, and perform the duties as- 
signed them. 

Each candidate for admission, solemnly affirms, at his ini- 
tiation, that he is not, nor intends ever to become, a mem- 
ber of a secret society.
